I might buy that if they were all Liberal Democrats. Colin Powell is a Republican who served in a Republican administration and supported the war in Iraq even today. Not much in common with Obama but...

Keep up

So shame on Powell for breaking party line and ideology. The nerve of that Uppity Negro.

I was offended by the racism

Powell has rarely seen eye-to-eye with either party. IMO he was a BS SoS when appointed. But that is hindsight. As I stated, he probably had zippy impact as all the talk radio programs I've listened to still have people asking the exact same questions as were brought up prior to that announcement.

So am I. You can't tell me that you think those are my words and my feelings? The unfortunate fact is that it is being said on the conservative talk radio circuit yesterday and today.

The republican party is upset at the endorsement. Will it have a major impact? I'd have to agree with you, but important, nontheless.

What was said? I haven't heard that on any program I listen to.

Mark Levin and G. Gordon Liddy. Not the host, per se, but their listeners and call ins have been pretty hateful. In addition, the talk is that Powell, by his choosing to endorse Obama has betrayed the Republican Party after all they have done for him. Also they have been referring to him as Benedict Powell and a "Race Patriot" in Blackface:

Off the top of your head list the surviving Secretaries of the Interior.

I wouldn't have a clue who your past Secretaries of State were, except for the link you conveniently provided in which one of them declared her support for Obama. It was your link; you repudiated your own claim!

You do realize that we don't have Secretaries of State up in the GWN, let alone Secretaries of the Interior?

So a listener called in and said that, well that blows. Kind of like the Obama fans interviewed by Howard Stern who loved his pick of Palin for VP

Actually the Republican party treated Collin Powell poorly and in fact abandoned him. Regardless of his MASSIVE shift to the Ultra Left I still respect him for his service and think the photo above is tasteless.
